For the Jews, Jerusalem is not simply a significant physical place, past and present, but a religious concept transcending time. For Christians, it is the site of Jesus's last days--and of countless Christian structures, relics, and remains.

For all three Abrahamic religions, Jerusalem is a major pilgrimage destination. Aldous Huxley wrote, ""We have each of us our Jerusalem""--a vision of what life might be. I'm Talking about Jerusalem considers Jerusalem as a political goal and eternal home; its place in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic eschatology; and as a metaphor for all we yearn for in this world and the next. A place of perfection and conclusion, a golden city, a paradise to be attained after death.mehr
